Overview: Montgomery Mahaffey is a fantasy writer who has told her stories all over the country. Alaskan winters shaped Mahaffey as a writer, and her work is built off of the myriad of personal and collective experiences formed underneath that mystical landscape. Born in the south to a family of storytellers, Mahaffey has developed her own voice that is suffused with the temperament of the wanderer instinct. Set in a world where magic is at once subtle and pervasive, her novels bring to life symbols and stories of the old fairy tales told with wry humor and passion. In 2005 she was granted the Individual Artist Project Award from the Rasmuson Foundation in Anchorage, Alaska. Ella Bandita and the Wanderer is her first novel.
Genre: Fantasy
The Bard Speaks: From the fireside, the Bard weaves tales for the village children. His favorite villainess is Ella Bandita, the predatory seductress notorious for manipulating the weaknesses of licentious men and stealing their hearts. The Bard’s grandson grows up with the stories of Ella Bandita’s conquests: the Gambling Man, the Rogue, the Charmer. As he approaches manhood, he must find his own destiny away from his grandfather and the village, away from the tales of the infamous Thief of Hearts. But in the woods of a new land he meets a strange woman. In the face of desire, will he remember his grandfather’s warning? "Always remember. Follow your heart."
Challenge: The Wanderer should have known better. Growing up with the Bard’s fireside stories about the predatory seductress Ella Bandita has done nothing to prepare him for meeting her. When he crosses paths with a mysterious vagabond girl in the woods, his loneliness pulls him toward her. But the strange woman spurns his friendship. It should be easy enough to leave her behind. But the Wanderer can’t pull himself away, captive to his stubborn will and the haunting dreams that linger when he wakes up every morning. Drawn in by the legendary allure of Ella Bandita, the Wanderer is caught up in a game of cat and mouse fraught with desire that is only fueled by his neighbor’s disdain. Soon, the words of his grandfather’s warning becomes a fading echo in his ear…always remember, follow your heart. Will the Wanderer resist in time to hear those words, or will he lose the one thing that matters to him most?
